Bahram's Whip Strikes Parmudeh

From E5.16, Bahram Chubin’s Anger at Parmudeh. It illustrates E5.16.9–20 (to E5.16.21):

E5.16.9
Descending from the hold with haughty stride,The Khan rode down the slope in lofty pride;
E5.16.10
He passed the lines in arrogant array,Nor deigned to look where Bahram held his way.
E5.16.11
Bahram resented how the Khan rode by,Though he had gained a king, a prize so high.
E5.16.12
He sent men after him and had him ledAfoot before the troops, with humbled head.
E5.16.13
Parmudeh said, “Once I was raised aboveThe folk, with kingship, majesty, and love.
E5.16.14
But now I come a suppliant, brought low,Cast down from glory into shame and woe.
E5.16.15
Today you show a harsh and cruel faceIn dragging me before you in disgrace.
E5.16.16
Now that I hold the warrant of the king,I go to court beneath his sheltering wing.
E5.16.17
Perhaps he will receive me brother-wise,And lighten grief before my wounded eyes.
E5.16.18
What more would you demand? My wealth, my throne,And all my goods I gave you as your own.”
E5.16.19
At these cold words, Bahram’s fierce eyes caught flame;His fury burst beyond all bounds of shame:
E5.16.20
He raised his whip and struck Parmudeh’s head,A wanton stroke that filled the chiefs with dread!
